There's a sticky post (one of the ones with the little push pin) near the top of the Board called "Common Abbreviations and Explanations" that will clear up some of the jargon we use around here.

Some people on the Board think HFCS is bad only because it's source of fructose; some believe there's something intrinsically unhealthy about HFCS (a view not restricted to these Boards); others think it's fine. I fall somewhere in among these positions. I think there's something weird about it and I prefer not to consume fructose unnecessarily so I'd rather avoid HFCS. When I first started out, I absolutely wouldn't eat it. Now that I'm stable I'm a lot more relaxed about it which makes my life easier since it shows up in all kinds of foods from candy to mayonnaise to packaged bread.

HTH.
